P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

The Battle of Flodden Field or occasionally Battle of Branxton was a conflict between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland. The battle was fought in the county of Northumberland in northern England on 9 September 1513, between an invading Scots army under King James IV and an English army commanded by the Earl of Surrey. It was an English victory. In terms of troop numbers, it was the largest battle fought between the two Kingdoms. James IV was killed in the battle, becoming the last monarch from the British Isles to suffer such a death.

Bring it on you Jocks

The irony being his great grandson then went on to reign both England and Scotland. So it was a bit of a waste really.

I always thought that only three English Kings died in Battle.

Harold Godwinson, at Battle of Hastings,

James 2nd at Battle of Bosworth Field and Richard 1st, the lionheart, at Aquitane

Yes, which is why York-Leicester relations are at an all time low right now.

There was a programme about Flodden on the home service the other week.

If you count the Anglo-Saxon Kings, plenty died on the battle field.

Oswald of Northumbria ended up nailed to a tree after the battle of Maserfeld

Despite what it says on Wiki etc, it wasn't quite an 'invading' army. The border was very flexible in those days it this was just an attempt to push it a little further south than it had been previously.

Folk in Northumberland still think of themselves as part-Scots - especially when helping themselves to our sheep.

Read up on the Moss Troopers to get a better flavour.

Need to re look at that my friend, they turned back due to Jacobite Generals disagreement with BPC and many highlanders needed to get back for harvest etc. Plus Jacobite army had many English men in their ranks(a regiment ftom Manchester). I believe most of London gentry had backed up and left the city. Now where's me sporran!?

It matters little what their shortcommings were, the fact is that they never made it past Swarkestone Bridge, (still standing) just outside Derby

Errr actually he turned back on the advice of his Chiefs, they weren't stopped by George's forces. London was shitting itself. How ever the Duke of Cumberland led his armies following the Jacobites right up to Drumossie Moor and slaughtered the Prince's army. Scot against Scot too. It was the last land battle fought on British soil.

Oh but you missed my point, it was not the English (with lowland scots, irish, a few europeam mecaneries) that made them turn back. This was what you were implying, yes?
